BMS denies any wrongdoing. Is this what we have to look forward to with Yervoy (Ipililumab) Melanoma..Jim Breitfeller

Commentary:
BMS denies any wrong doing, but this was not it's first offence and may not be it's last. As the patent waterfall nears close with Plavix, is BMS trying to make up for it's loss of revenue?
Mesothelioma and Cancer Patients Who Received Certain Chemotherapy Drugs May be Eligible for Reimbursement

http://blog.mesotheliomahelp.net/2011/01/mesothelioma-and-cancer-patients-who-received-certain-chemotherapy-drugs-may-be-eligible-for-reimbursement.asp

I am anticipating that BMS will try to inflat the cost of production of Ipilimumab (Yervoy) and try to pass it along to the patients that desperately need it. It is a shame that the drug companies have come down to greed and screw the consumer. BMS needs desperately to clean house again and go through some Ethics training, Big time!!!

I am all for paying a fair price, but not to get gouged to the point that the insurance won't pay and pass the copay onto the patients. It is not right.
